Grace James was an English children's author and folklorist who spent her childhood in Japan. She writes: "These tales and legends have been collected from many sources. Some of them have been selected from the Ko-ji-ki, or Record of Ancient Matters, which contains the mythology of Japan. Many are told from memory, being relics of childish days, originally heard from the lips of a schoolfellow or nurse". The tales are beautifully illustrated by Warwick Goble, who specialised in fairy tales and Far Eastern scenes. A De Luxe edition of thirty-eight tales relatively unknown in the West, stunningly illustrated. Illus. Warwick Goble (illustrator).…

Published within Rev. Lal Behari Day's Folk-Tales of Bengal in 1912. This illustration from "The Story of the Rakshasas" shows a "fair lady" who is a Rakshasi or "raw-eater" who has "eaten up the king, the queen, and all the members of the royal family, and gradually all his subjects". It is reproduced opposite page 62. Warwick Goble (1862-1943) specialized in Indian- and Japanese-themed illustrations during the golden age of illustrated books. His work here, of a cannibal in the form of a beautiful woman who lures her victims to their death, illustrates text by Lal Behari Day (1824-1892). Day was a pioneer in collecting folk and fairy tales from his native region of Bengal. A review of the published book in The Times of India praised the book production and noted "best of all are the coloured illustrations thoroughly Oriental and decorative by Warwick Goble". A reviewer for the Manchester Guardian stated that "we hope many more children will make acquaintance with the Rakshasas and the demons, water-sprites, snakes, and elephants, and learn that their Indian cousins are very much like themselves." Goble exhibited 100 original watercolours for sale at the Dudley Galleries in London during January 1914. A copy of the priced catalogue accompanies this watercolour and reveals that pieces were originally priced between 8 and 16 guineas. This piece was one of the highlights and offered at the price of 15 guineas. The Times of India, 27 November 1912, p. 9; Manchester Guardian, 28 November 1912, p. 7.
